FAQs

QuikData

Initially, we will only be offering raw data versions of our standard irOR reports. However, as the service matures, we'll begin to offer custom data retrieval for any of our QuikStrike data. In the meantime, let us know how you will be using or retrieving the data. The more information we have about our customers, the better we can serve.

How do I retrieve the data?

All data will be accessed via an easy-to-use web service.  What's a web service? Well, you can think of it as a special kind of web address or link that's used specifically for retrieving data over the internet.

How will the data be formatted?

You will be able to receive data in one of two formats:

  • CSV (Comma Separated Values)
    • Used for loading directly in a spreadsheet or parsing via comma separator
  • XML
    • Simple XML format for easy processing with almost any programming language

If you would like a sample of either, please send us an email and we'll get you a sample of each right away.

How often can I access the data service?

When registering for and purchasing a particular service, you will have a choice between pay-as-you-go and unlimited data retrieval. The former will have a lower monthly fee, but you will be charged each time a request is made.  The latter will have a higher monthly cost, but will allow for unrestricted access to the service.
